Hi,

 

Statistics are just counter that need to be reset sometimes. To make sure that your app works fine, you can reset the statistics in the webui (Statistics >> Module Statistics >> Local Traffic). You can reset tcp stats of your tcp profile in your VS and check if tcp reset counter increase again.

 

You can also launch a tcpdump on the F5 cli and check if there is some tcp reset from one of the peer.

 

In your case, the tcp reset can come from the client too.

Hi, You can use a clone pool to clone traffic of the VS to an external system. You can use a linux system that has wireshark installed. You can also sniff the traffic on your network and check for tcp reset.
